I expect a return to tenant farmers, one step above serfs. Like america prior to the dustbowl and grapes of wrath. > Shit's going to self terminate, just like the soviet union, I expect it is going to become far worse, for a long time, before that happens. Insolvent empires can go on a lot longer than you think. If the roman empire comparisons are true, america will eventually split. And then one half will turn into a religious state. And this time the state religion will be communism.
